CDC Director Claims Face Masks Are ‘More Guaranteed’ To Protect Him Than A COVID-19 Vaccine

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Robert Redfield claimed during his congressional testimony on Wednesday that his face mask was “more guaranteed” to protect him from COVID-19 than a vaccine.

Redfield testified before the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on Wednesday, claiming that face masks were the most “important, powerful public health tool” in fighting the coronavirus pandemic and adding he thought masks were more likely to protect him from COVID-19 than a vaccine due to “immunogenicity” concerns.
